Gaggenau EB868-620 temperature not accurate

This convection ring element supplies the heat for the oven's convection bake and roast cycles. Replacing a failed element restores even convection performance so foods cook properly across multiple racks.

• Provides the heat source for convection modes; the fan circulates air across this ring for uniform baking
• Common symptoms of failure: no heat in convection, very long preheat, or uneven results during convection cycles
• Visual clues include cracks, blistering, or burn-through on the element band
• Electrical clue: element tests open/infinite (OL) with a multimeter when power is disconnected

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; this is a high-wattage circuit
• Access varies by model: remove the rear panel or the interior convection cover to reach the element and terminals
• Note wire locations and transfer leads to the new element one at a time
• Ensure the element sits flat and does not contact the cavity walls; tighten mounting screws snugly
